I filled my three slots just because I can. One took VSP so I'll have to check again whenever I start bidding again.

One I expect to be on the list is a guy who, when I announced I'd rather not talk about politics, decided he would antagonize me with politics for days. I should have just called off the trip. Carries a lot of **** and vinegar with him from his last airline that was merged with Southwest. That's not a generalization, but he's the kind of guy who creates the animosity that exists with some folks regarding that merger. I got hired after that, so his moaning about it doesn't interest me.

The one who took VSP was on many lists and I only flew with him once. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't great either and since I could avoid him, why wouldn't I?

Another is on my list because he's pretty much universally reviled and my buddies who flew with him said, "Never Again". So I am preemptively avoiding him.

My bidding is simple and so if I miss a line to avoid these pilots it's better. I'd rather avoid those pilots than get those lines.
